So, apparently Becky Higgins products won’t be sold in Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Folks are seeing the remaining stock sold off on clearance. She (Ali) said in an interview that they would be sold in a big box store now but she couldn’t name the store yet. (

Do you think Target? I hope not Walmart! Someone else speculated it would be Joann but I don’t think of them as “big box” any more than Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I miss my LSS!

I'm clearly out of the loop - I really don't know what you're talking about. Does clearance mean she's getting out of the product business? That link, BTW, is to Alice Boll interviewing Becky Higgins at Creativation. More info, please

It didn't sound like ALL of the PL stuff would only be in a big box store.... she was showing 4 different sets that would appear in May in an un-named store...
I didn't watch the whole video though... so maybe there are other things going only to a big box store...

No, I mean her products won’t be for sale in Michaels or in Hobby Lobby. I assume Amazon and online stores will be an option - along with the mystery big box store. I don’t know the woman who interviewed her.

Ah, I was confused with the Ali Edwards reference. If Becky switches exclusively to HL or JoAnns she'll lose a good chunk of her Canadian market, we have neither here. Alice Boll, interviewer, is the gal who bought the ScrapHappy group from Lain Ehmann, and now runs LayOut A Day (LOAD) several times a year. I'm not a member of the ScrapHappy community, but among other things Alice also hosts monthly planning webinars which I've checked out.

I might be getting old...going back to make the correction!
